Funny, I thought ALL models fly '3D'. Can't think of any that fly either 2D or 4D. So far as I am aware all my models got three dimensions, none are infinitely thin (2D) and none cast a 3D shadow...
Am I missing some part of model aviation? As for those floppy all about the sky jockeys, it's only for those with a lack of eyesight and co-ordination...

It's just more terminology designed to be annoying/make something seem more important than it really is. "3D! Yeah, that's what I fly, it's awesome!" Kinda like how "glow" is now "nitro." More fallout from the MTV mindset. And flying backwards doesn't really constitute 4D; I'm sure you'll see them add something in the next couple of years then call it...you guessed it, "5D." Oh, and to keep this relevent to the thread, I love my Tipo so much I'm afraid to fly it! I'd love to see a GP ARF re-release.
